Ezra 10
1 Therefore, as Ezra was praying, and imploring, and weeping in this way, and was prostrate before the temple of God, an exceedingly great assembly of men and women and children was gathered to him from Israel. And the people wept with a great weeping.
Na, I a Etera e inoi ana, e whaki hara ana, me te tangi, me te rutu i a ia ki mua i te whare o te Atua, na, nui atu te hui i rupeke ki a ia i roto i a Iharaira, nga tane, nga wahine, nga tamariki: nui atu hoki te tangi i tangi ai te iwi.
2 And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, from the sons of Elam, responded and said to Ezra: “We have sinned against our God, and have taken foreign wives from the peoples of the land. And now, if there is repentance within Israel over this,
Na ka oho a Hekania tama a Tehiere, ko tetahi nei ia o nga tama a Erama, ka mea ki a Etera, Kua he matou ki to tatou Atua, kua tango i nga wahine ke, i a nga iwi o te whenua. Tenei ano ia he mea e marama ai nga whakaaro o Iharaira ki tenei mea.
3 let us strike a pact with the Lord our God, so that we may cast aside all the wives, and those who have been born from them, in accord with the will of the Lord, and of those who fear the precept of the Lord our God. So let it be done, according to the law.
Na kia whakaritea he kawenata ki to tatou Atua, kia whakarerea aua wahine katoa me a ratou tamariki, kia rite ai ki te whakaaro i whakatakotoria e toku ariki, e te hunga ano e wehi ana i te whakahau a to tatou Atua: kia rite ano te meatanga ki ta te ture.
4 Rise up. It is for you to discern, and we shall be with you. Be strengthened and act.”
Whakatika, mau hoki te mahi; a ko matou hei hoa mou: kia uaua, meatia.
5 Therefore, Ezra rose up, and he caused the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and all of Israel, to swear that they would act in accord with this word. And they swore it.
Katahi ka whakatika a Etera, a whakaoatitia ana e ia nga rangatira o nga tohunga, o nga Riwaiti, o Iharaira Katoa, kia meatia tenei mea e ratou. A oati ana ratou.
6 And Ezra rose up before the house of God, and he went away to the chamber of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib, and he entered into it. He did not eat bread, and he did not drink water. For he was mourning the transgression of those who had arrived from the captivity.
Katahi a Etera ka whakatika i mua i te whare o te Atua, a haere ana ki te ruma o Iehohanana tama a Eriahipi. A, no tona taenga ki reira, kihai ia i kai taro, kihai i inu wai; e pouri ana hoki ki te he o te hunga i whakaraua.
7 And a voice was sent into Judah and Jerusalem, to all the sons of the transmigration, so that they would gather together in Jerusalem.
Na ka karanga nui, puta noa i Hura, i Hiruharama, ki nga tama katoa o te whakarau, kia huihui ki Hiruharama.
8 And all those who would not arrive within three days, in accord with the counsel of the leaders and the elders, would have all his substance taken away, and he would be cast out of the assembly of the transmigration.
Na, ko te tangata e kore e tae mai i nga ra e toru, i ta nga rangatira ratou ko nga kaumatua i whakaaro ai, ka murua putia ona rawa katoa, a ka motuhia ia i roto i te whakaminenga o nga whakarau.
9 And so, all the men of Judah and of Benjamin convened in Jerusalem within three days. This was in the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month. And all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of the sin and the rain.
Na ko te huihuinga mai o nga tangata katoa o Hura, o Pineamine ki Hiruharama i roto i aua ra e toru; ko te iwa tenei o nga marama, i te rua tekau o te marama. Na noho ana te iwi katoa i te marae o te whare o te Atua; wiri ana ratou, he whakaaro k i tenei mea, he nui ano hoki te ua.
10 And Ezra, the priest, rose up, and he said to them: “You have transgressed, and you have taken foreign wives, so that you added to the offenses of Israel.
Na ka whakatika a Etera tohunga, ka mea ki a ratou, Kua he koutou, kua marenatia ki nga wahine ke, na kua neke ake te he o Iharaira.
11 And now, make confession to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do what pleases him, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from your foreign wives.”
Na whakina atu nga he ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o o koutou matua, meatia hoki tana i pai ai; motuhia mai hoki koutou i roto i nga iwi o te whenua, i nga wahine ke hoki.
12 And the entire multitude responded, and they said with a great voice: “In accord with your word to us, so let be it done.
Na ka whakahokia e te iwi katoa, he nui o ratou reo ki te mea, Ka rite ki tau kupu ta matou e mea ai.
13 Yet truly, since the people are many, and it is the time of rain, and we cannot endure standing outside, and this is not a task for one or two days, (for certainly we have sinned greatly in this matter, )
Otiia he tokomaha te iwi, he wa ua nui hoki tenei; e kore ano matou e kaha ki te tu i waho, ehara hoki tenei i te mahi mo te ra kotahi, mo nga ra e rua ranei: he nui rawa hoki to matou he i tenei mea.
14 let leaders be appointed among the entire multitude. And in all our cities, let those who have taken foreign wives arrive at appointed times, and with them the elders from city to city, and the judges, until the wrath of our God has been averted from us over this sin.”
Na me whakarite o tatou rangatira mo te huihui katoa, a me haere mai i nga wa e whakaritea te hunga katoa kua marena ki nga wahine ke i o tatou pa, ratou ko nga kaumatua o tenei pa, o tenei pa, me nga kaiwhakawa o reira, kia tahuri atu ra ano i a tatou te riri kaha o to tatou Atua, a kia tutuki ra ano tenei mea.
15 And so Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were appointed over this, and the Levites Meshullam and Shabbethai assisted them.
Ko Honatana anake tama a Atahere raua ko Tahatia tama a Tikiwa i tu atu ki tenei mea; a ko o raua hoa ko Mehurama raua ko Hapetai Riwaiti.
16 And the sons of the transmigration did so. And Ezra, the priest, and the men who were the leaders of the families in the houses of their fathers, and all according to their names, went and sat down, on the first day of the tenth month, so that they might examine the matter.
Na i pena hoki nga tama o te whakarau. A ka wehea a Etera tohunga me etahi upoko o nga whare o nga matua no tenei whare, no tenei whare, o o ratou matua, he mea karanga katoa o ratou ingoa; a noho ana ratou i te ra tuatahi o te tekau o nga maram a hei rapu i te tikanga o tenei mea.
17 And they made an end with all the men who had taken foreign wives, by the first day of the first month.
Poto rawa ake nga tangata katoa i marena ki nga wahine ke, ko te ra tuatahi o te tuatahi o nga marama.
18 And there were found among the sons of the priests some who had taken foreign wives: From the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
Na kua mau etahi o nga tama a nga tohunga he mea marena ki nga wahine ke; ara no nga tama a Hehua tama a Iohereke ratou ko ona teina, ko Maaheia, ko Erietere, ko Iaripi, ko Keraria.
19 And they swore with their hands that they would cast aside their wives, and that they would offer for their offense a ram from among the sheep.
Na ka tukua mai o ratou ringa, mo a ratou wahine kia whakarerea; a, ka he nei ratou, ka tapaea he hipi toa o te kahui mo to ratou he.
